Bipin Chandra Pal (1858-1932)

The great freedom fighter observed:

Muslim first then Indian : “The
Indian Muslims are first Muslims, then Indians. According to the Muslim leaders
like Syeed Amir Ali, if the foreign Islamic countries invade India, the duties
of the Indian Muslims will be to help those Muslim invaders against India,
because ‘Muslim identity’ is more important to them.” (‘Rashtraniti’, by Bipin
Chandra Pal in ‘Bijaya’, 1319 Bangabda)
